This piece shows the structures of red blood cells. In the bottom 3rd fourth of the painting I show structural anomaly that occurs in
Sickle Cell Anemia. The actual red blood cells are in the background, with some sickle shaped ones in the Sickle Cell Anemia section. On top of that I painted in the hemoglobin protein structure that is responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells, and in the anomaly section the hemoglobin is deformed. Then layered through the hemoglobin are the abbreviations for the amino acids in the sequences for normal and Sickle Cell Anemia hemoglobin and the molecular pattern of the hydrocarbon backbone of the amino acid chain (excluding the r-groups except for the ones that change for Sickle Cell Anemia) in green and blue respectively. I think the structure and visual texture are strong in this piece, and I think the white highlights on some of the red blood cells make them stand out more. I think the anomaly could be emphasized more strongly. In my next piece I will focus on making the anomaly the central focal point of the piece.

Beautifully created! There is a very strong correlation from the work presented to the concentration statement! Your technical skills are strong as is the overall design and structure of your work.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good laura! You did such a good job with layer the different cells and other stuff that i don't know the words for! Anyway I can definitely tell that the two bottom structures are different than the others, showing anamoly. grest job!
